Succotash Shut-In

Succotash Clips Epi168: Spotifyin’ the Succotash

Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast, was launched in 2011 with the idea of promoting comedy soundcasts in what was then a marketplace still trying to find its way. By featuring short clips of shows being produced by funny folks both known and unknown, we like to feel that we maybe had a little tiny, eeny weeny, itsy bitsy bit to do with helping to ignite the torch of soundcasts across the globe! (But then we've always had a rather high opinion of ourselves...)

Original show host and executive producer Marc Hershon, along with booth announcer Bill Heywatt, engineer/producer Joe Paulino, associate producer Tyson Saner, musical director Scott Carvey, and booth assistant Kenny Durgis have kept the flame alive o'er these many years. In 2018, Hershon abandoned the host chair and anointed Saner to the position, with nary a notice from the legions of listeners. Typical.

Indeed it is I, Tyson Saner. Your host
and Soundcast Sommelier for the evening. Enticing your earbuds with
a selection of fine soundcast content and extending the invitation
to taste just the tiniest amounts before making a decision on
whether or not to listen to more of what these various creators
have seen fit to upload and share with whomever makes the decision
to listen to them.

This episode I've got clips from Bunny Ears, Popternative,
Dead Jesters Sketch Comedy Podcast, Stoned Science, How Did This
Get Made? and Judge John Hodgman.

We've also got a double dose of raging moderate Will
Durst'sBurst O’ Durst segments and this
episodeis brought to you by Henderson’s Shoplifter’s Pants.

I'd also like to point out that one of the ways you could be
listening to us now is Spotify! Yes, we've added yet another place
you can find us and potentially pass us along to someone else in
need of a soundcast experience who may not know where to start.

Bunny Ears
Here's a soundcast that was recommended by Korey
Epps, former host of The Evil Teddy Bear Podcast.
Hosted by former child star MacCauley Culkin and
his friend Mat Cohen, Bunny Ears, a brand
new soundcast as of the beginning of this year, is described as a
“weekly discussion of things and stuff and things,” according to
Apple Podcasts. It also features guests. This was clipped from the
appropriately titled premier epi, called “The First Episode of this
Podcast”.

(Side Note: I was a guest on an episode of Evil Teddy Bear a few
years back but I can't seem to find it online at this time.)

(Side Side Note: I'm happy to say that Korey Epps is launching a
new podcast this year called The Korey Epps Show and was
very recently a guest on epi49 of another soundcast I co-host with
Hunter Block called The Anti Social
Show.)

(Side Side Side Note: I've got news for you, he's likely to be
on epi50 as well…)

Popternative
According to Apple Podcasts, “Popternative initially began
as a podcast in September, 2015. Hosted by Peter
Roumeliotis, guests from the sports, social media and
entertainment industry joined the host each week and engaged in a
digital dialogue about various issues and topics. Popternative’s
main quest has always been, and remains, to provide our
viewers/listeners with behind-the-scenes digital discussions that
they would otherwise have a hard time locating.” Our clip is from
an interview with Mike Zapcic of AMC’s Comic
Book Men on AMC.

Dead Jesters Sketch Comedy Podcast
The Dead Jesters Sketch Comedy Podcast is a collection of
hilarious and original skits brought to you by NYC stand-up
comedians Joe Powell and Ryco
Newton-Block, according to the show’s listing at iTunes.
Each episode is filled with absurd characters, outrageous
storylines, and hysterical parodies. This podcast has 5-star
ratings across the board; we don't even know what 4-stars looks
like. This clip is from Episode 5: "Of Beavers and Bransons" and is
as fresh as last week, when it was plucked from the soundcast vine.
Tune into the Jesters and you're guaranteed to be laughing
throughout. Enjoy!

Stoned Science
Comedians Kimberly Congdon & Sara
Weinshenk sit down to explore the depths of science over
cannabis selections on Stoned Science. Laugh with them as
they explore subjects ranging from sex to artifical intelligence
in-between joint hits. This clip we’re featuring is from their
episode posted February 18th, 2018, called "Lucid Dreaming".

How Did This Get
Made?
This is one of my all-time favorite soundcasts. I've been a
listener since the first episode dropped in, I believe, 2010. As
described on iTunes: “Have you ever seen a movie so bad that it's
amazing? Paul Scheer, June Diane
Raphael, and Jason Mantzoukas want to
hear about it! We'll watch it with our funniest friends, and report
back to you with the results.” This clip is from epi171, released
September 15, 2017, and features actor Chris Geere
of You’re the Worst joining Paul, June, and Jason to
discuss the 1987 martial arts film Miami Connection.

Judge John Hodgman
Way back when, John Hodgman had a show called
“Today in the Past" which then became a podcast now called The
Judge John Hodgman Podcast. The official show description
reads., in part, “Have your pressing issues decided by Famous Minor
Television Personality John Hodgman, Certified Judge. If you'd like
John Hodgman to solve your pressing issue, simply email it, along
with your phone number, to hodgman@maximumfun.org. THAT IS ALL.”
Featuring Maximum Fun’s Jesse Thorn as the
bailiff, this clip is from epi359 “Beyond a Reasonable Bout.”

(Side note: As I was writing the details down of this show as I
do for every episode of Succotash, The Comedy Souncast
Soundcast, I couldn't help but notice that for some reason, Mr.
Hodgman has blocked our @SuccotashShow Twitter account, and I have
to say I have absolutely no idea why. I can only imagine that it
was accidental. At any rate, if you'd like to contact @Hodgman on
Twitter to ask why on our behalf, let us know what he says…)

DONE FOR NOW

And with that, I've exhausted my current supply of Soundcast
clips from all around the internet. Mostly I use Podbay and
Laughable to listen but I'd be very curious to know where YOU
listen to us, and WHERE you listen to us.

FYI, I usually listen to soundcasts when I'm doing manual labor
of some sort. If my life included a long, near-daily commute then
that's where I would probably listen. Most of you listening by now
should know that you don't have to stay in one place or be inactive
while enjoying this or your favorite soundcast and if you didn't
know, then you do now.

Also I've got my first "Succotash Chats" coming up for the next
episode and I've got to start editing that now. Of course, that's
MY "now". I could be done with that part of the deal by the time
you hear this. It could already be posted. Well, you
do understand how time works don't you? It keeps moving
forward for all of us, until…it doesn't.

So, If you've enjoyed yourself here, remember: You can now find
us on Spotify for another place to enjoy us. If you'd like to help
the show offset server costs, you can hang right here on our
homepage and either click on the Amazon banner at the top of the
page, shop as you normally would, and a percentage of the money you
spend goes to help us. Or click on the Donate button up there if
you don’t want to buy anything. And every little bit helps...

So if you do enjoy this free entertainment and wish to hear it
for years to come, I would gently remind you again to please, pass
the Succotash.
